Which do you mean? Fawlty or Rathbone?

Basil is good, but be careful not to overdo it, especially with sweet basil. A basil rub over chicken or beef can greatly improve the flavor. It's not aromatic, like rosemary, so you can use a bit more than you would with rosemary or bay leaf, but a little of it still goes a long way.

Cheers,
